I provide empathetic, personalized support to college students who are working to adjust to a college environment, managing new and difficult social situations, or working on themselves and discovering their identity now that they are away from home. My approach tends to be more casual and less clinical. I'm excited to help students explore any new and challenging areas they are facing in college.

Hello! I have worked with college students and graduate students my whole career as I previously worked at both Oregon State University and the University of Oregon's Counseling Centers. I enjoy supporting students and young adults in their transitions especially with regard to improving relationships and better understanding the impact of family relationships. I have significant experience working with trauma and anxiety as well.

Do you feel like your life has gotten off track? Perhaps you're fighting with your partner more. Tossing and turning instead of sleeping. Counting the moments until 5:00, when you can justify a glass a wine to calm your nerves. Each day may feel like a repeat of the last, leaving you wondering what the purpose is. I offer an eclectic blend of evidence-based therapy, tailored to your specific needs. Whether you prefer to meet in person or online, I'm here for you.

Are you holding a lot internally? Do you appear capable and put-together on the outside yet feel overwhelmed, anxious, fearful, or disconnected inside? Many students I work with are empaths and deep feelers who often ruminate or overthink decisions, worry about letting others down, or feel pressure to always be perceived as put together and strong. Are you confused about what healthy sexuality is? Are you unsure about what consent and bodily autonomy looks like, sounds like, feels like? College can intensify everything all at once: the stress of both internal and external academic expectations, relationships, family pressure, cultural or religious identities, and big questions about the future. It is a time of navigating multiple transitions. Transitions such as figuring out who you are apart from your family, questioning beliefs you grew up with, or trying to become your own person while staying connected to the people who matter to you. Add to this trying to develop new connections, and it can feel like you have a lead role in “Everything Everywhere All at Once.” Maybe you grew up in a high-pressure environment, or took on emotional caretaker roles early, or learned to minimize your needs. Perhaps you are noticing patterns you don’t know how to change. Or now that you are away from a traumatic family of origin situation, you are having memories surface and find yourself disassociating and finding it impossible to focus on studies. So you find yourself shutting down, maybe feeling numb, perhaps feeling “too much,” or carrying stress in your body - is it showing up as tension, trouble sleeping, difficulty concentrating, heightened anxiety, or...? You may be a quiet struggler - thoughtful, self-aware, and resilient, yet exhausted. Those who struggle quietly often don’t ask for help, apologize for having needs, or carry the emotional weight for others. Or maybe you find yourself acting out in ways that are not conducive to your well-being - like risky behavior or other choices that are hurtful for you. If you’re a university student who feels stuck between who you’ve been and who you’re becoming, or if you’re looking for a space where you don’t have to have everything figured out, I see you and am honored to hold space for you. I understand we heal through connection. Authentic connection happens when we are heard and understood in relationship to others. I attempt to engage our work through compassion, curiosity, humor, perspective, honesty, and gentle challenges when appropriate. I believe in creating a space where you are able to slow down and tune into your emotions, beliefs, and responses as a way to heal, grow, and authentically relate to others.

Accepting Trillium OHP, PacificSource, and United Healthcare, BlueCross BlueShield I’m Morgan Barber, LCSW, a licensed psychotherapist with over 17 years of experience helping people work through anxiety, stress, relationships, and stuck patterns. The college years can feel like being dropped into a complex world with no map. You’re making real decisions about identity, relationships, direction, and how to live, often while questioning who you are and who you’re becoming. I see this time of life as a kind of search. Students are experimenting, trying things on, pushing limits, and asking deeper questions about what is true for them. That process can be exciting, but it can also feel disorienting, lonely, or overwhelming. My role is to provide a space of real understanding and thoughtful guidance. I work collaboratively, bringing curiosity, clarity, and a nonjudgmental stance so we can make sense of what you’re experiencing. Together, we look at the patterns shaping your life, the pressures and constraints you’re navigating, and the options actually available to you. From there, we focus on building practical skill so you can make decisions you respect and move through challenges with more steadiness. This is not about giving you answers or telling you who to be. It is about helping you see more clearly, relate to yourself and others more effectively, and develop your own way of living that feels grounded and real. If you’re trying to find your footing, understand yourself more deeply, and move forward with greater clarity and confidence, this is a place to start.

You are feeling stuck and unsure of how to move forward. You are dealing with unresolved trauma, depression, anxiety or other complications that are making life difficult. You may feel like you are "going through the motions" and cannot find a way to enjoy your life in the ways you want. You feel disconnected from yourself and others. You want to feel motivated to live to your fullest potential and make the changes needed in order to reach your goals. I believe that the therapeutic relationship is an opportunity to gain a deeper understanding of the Self and make choices that are more aligned with personal goals. I use a Person Centered approach using Gestalt, Somatic awareness, Internal Family Systems and Narrative Therapy, DBT, CBT and creative expressive tools. Creating a deeper connection to body responses, and discovering different perspectives to develop more self awareness, I hope to work as a facilitator for your growth. I believe that you are always the expert in your own life, and I welcome feedback and collaboration about tools that you find most useful for your progress. I have 6 years experience helping adults, children and families. I'm a Licensed Professional Counselor Associate in the state of Oregon and hold a certification in Drug and Alcohol Counseling from the Mental Health & Addiction Counseling Board of Oregon. I’m looking forward to hearing from you! You can reach me by phone at 971-265-6543 or email me at melissasanders@introspectivecollective.org.

I provide adult psychological testing and evaluation for ADHD, autism, and diagnostic clarifications. I take a strength-based, whole picture approach and utilize a variety of different testing measures including a cognitive battery. This allows you to be able to use your evaluation for services through your university if needed and recommended. I also take insurance. If you may be interested, email me or check our website for more information.

Early adulthood can be a confusing, tumultuous time. You may be forging an identity, dealing with instability in living situations, academics, career, or relationships, and perhaps caught up in the painful effects of complex trauma from childhood and adolescence. Financial and career stress in a confusing economy doesn't help. I resonate most with young adults struggling with family of origin issues, discrimination, and experiences of trauma and loss. These issues and experiences often lead to depression, anxiety, and worries about not being good enough or able to make healthy decisions. I am able to be present when you are hopeless and help you see the good within. My approach flexible and catered to your needs. What brings you to therapy is a focus, but I also acknowledge that the past informs the present. We may take that past on directly or keep it in mind as a minor theme. Insight combined with action are often the keys to change.

Hello. My name is Cindy. I am passionate about helping students improve their mental health. As a fellow UO duck I personally understand the compounding social, academic, financial, and relationship challenges that occur while attending college. I have worked with students for over 20 years. I have supported students experiencing generalized and academic anxiety, social anxiety, obsessive compulsive disorder (OCD), ADHD, depression, chronic and acute medical conditions, life adjustments, roommate conflict, stress and time management difficulties, grief and loss, and trauma. I have experience working with students who have experienced sudden grief and loss, traumatic break-ups, and psychological, physical, and sexual abuse. I am committed to supporting individuals heal from their traumatic experiences and allowing their vulnerable selves to feel seen. I have experience working with BIPOC and LGBTQIA2+ students who are experiencing discrimination, marginalization, dismissal, and systemic micro and macro aggressions. I have completed trainings and hold certifications in EMDR, ACT, DBT, CBT, and Mindfulness. Therapy is a courageous act that requires vulnerability, authenticity, and an openness to self-discovery. I will work to help you identify patterns that are keeping you stuck, stagnant, and from reaching your full potential. If you are ready to begin this process I look forward to connecting with you.

BCB Therapy began in 2004. Each therapist carries a caseload they can actually hold in mind, and clients see the same person every week, not whoever happens to be free. The team works with anxiety, depression, trauma and PTSD, relationship struggles, disordered eating, insomnia, and ADHD. Alongside talk therapy the practice offers EMDR, Brainspotting, Internal Family Systems, DBT, DBR, and Mindfulness-Based Cognitive Therapy. Sessions happen two ways: in person at the office on SW Columbia Street in Bend, or by secure video anywhere in Oregon. Clients in Portland, Salem, Eugene, and Medford, and in small towns with no therapist for fifty miles, get the same clinicians and the same care. The practice is in network with PacificSource, Providence, Regence, BlueCross BlueShield, First Choice Health, and the Oregon Health Plan.

How I work: I'm a licensed clinical social worker and psychoanalytic psychotherapist, in practice for over 15 years. Licensed in Oregon, Maryland and New York. In person in Ashland, Oregon, and by video elsewhere. People come to me with anxiety, depression, grief, addiction, relationship difficulty, and the harder transitions of a life, though we rarely stay at the level of the label for long. My training is psychoanalytic - relational, modern, contemporary - but in practice I'm more interested in you than in applying any of it to you. Together we explore what matters, what repeats, what gets avoided, what happens between us. You come to know what's best. That stays with you everywhere. I also work as a thought partner. Some people come to me not for conventional therapy but for sustained, confidential attention to something they're working through: a decision, a project, a difficult question, a piece of writing, a leadership puzzle. The structure is different; the kind of attention to complexity is the same. Some call this coaching. I think of it as the same depth of attention, pointed ​at something distinct you're working at. Who I am Trained at the Center for Modern Psychoanalytic Studies and the Washington Baltimore Center for Psychoanalysis, with additional study in somatic and contemplative approaches. Outside the office, I serve on the board of the Ashland Independent Film Festival.
